And he blessed {H1288} them that day {H3117}, saying {H559}, In thee shall Israel {H3478} bless {H1288}, saying {H559}, God {H430} make {H7760} thee as Ephraim {H669} and as Manasseh {H4519}: and he set {H7760} Ephraim {H669} before {H6440} Manasseh {H4519}.

So that day Jacob blessed them and said: “By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
